On one of my upgraded 1.7.1 system sshd quit running as a service and would not restart. I tried a few things but never could make it work so I decided to reinstall.
I uninstalled cygwin per the FAQ and a posting on removing sshd http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.setup.uninstall-all http://chinese-watercolor.com/LRP/printsrv/remove-cygwin.html I reinstalled cygwin choosing defaults options. Then I added openssh to this install. Ran ssh-host-config answered all the questions yes and set CYGWIN to "tty ntsec". After this "cygrunsrv -S sshd" fails. most of the time - although I've seen it work a few times. An example session is below. Any suggestions on a work around or how to trace this ?
